I still remember a few years back, I had a recruiter chasing me about a CISO job at a company. Traditional CISO, seemed to fit my strengths.

The recruiter asked “do you have a CISSP?”

I said “no, but 30,000 people listen to my podcast each week and claim that time to keep up with their CISSP continuing education requirements”

He responded: “well, it’s kind of a big deal to them. Would you be willing to get that certification?”

I declined - I don’t think I would have been a good personality fit for them.

If they're coming to you, I don't see why they'd care about the cert. Sounds like you made the right choice.

I went with taking the CISSP test earlier this year as my first cert since I don't have a lot of InfoSec items on my resume despite effectively doing 2-3x the CPE requirements for the past decade. A cert is just one way of proving knowledge, not the only way.

FYI, being offended by someone ordering Lockheed Martin socks or saying they would like them work at Lockheed Martin should be addressed by blocking the person, not with a report.

Thank you for attending my speech.

Or put another way, curate your own feed. Take some agency for yourself. Not everyone shares your opinions, get used to it.
